Hi!

I need to determine empty folders within a given file location (e.g. C:\test\) and output the empty folder file names to an output file (e.g. C:\test\output.txt).

I have this code for the batch file however I can only echo ALL the folders to the txt file. I only need the empty folder file names to be echoed.

pushd C:\test
for /d %%d in (*) do (
rd /q %%d
echo %%d >> c:\test\output.txt
)
popd

Can someone assist me with this?

Thanks!
